Specificity And Sensitivity

Background: Cervical cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide and more over in the developing countries, so there is a need to develop screening test with high specificity and sensitivity. Aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Papanicolaou (PAP) smear versus visual inspection acetic acid (VIA) for screening cervical lesions in patients and to determine and compare their sensitivity and specificity.Methods: The present study is a hospital based prospective study for a period of two years at the department of pathology from August 2014 to July 2016 consisting of 500 patients attending gynaecology outpatient clinic. Papanicolaou (Pap) smear tests and visual inspection acetic acid were employed along with complete clinical history record. The results of VIA were correlated with that of pap smear on the basis of sensitivity, specificity and positive and negative predictive value.Results: Out of 500 cases, most common age group was 21 to 40 years of age consisting of 305 cases - 61%. VIA was positive in 156 cases-31.2%, PAP smear positive for epithelial cell abnormalities were 60 cases-12%. VIA showed higher sensitivity (52.38%) compared to Pap smear (40%) whereas Pap smear showed higher specificity (93.2%) compared to VIA (92.4%).Conclusions: Papanicolaou test is a better screening test for epithelial cell abnormality than VIA. However, in countries with low resource settings where cytology-based screening programs are not available, VIA is a promising alternative.

Abstract Background: Cervical cancer is the tenth most frequent cancer in Egyptian women. The Papanicolaou screening test is not suitable for rural area as most follow-up consultations never take place. Aim: To evaluate visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid as a screening test. Materials and methods: According to the inclusion criteria, women aged 25-60 years commuting to a gynecological out-patient clinic at the University Hospital went through a visual inspection of the cervix with acetic acid (VIA). Exclusion criteria were women below 25 years, unmarried, pregnant, menstruating, known to have cancer, having a precancerous lesion or a cervical operation. Multiple punch biopsies were done for all VIA positive cases and a subsample of the VIA negative cases underwent the same. Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) was evaluated. In addition, the site of the lesion was assessed. SPSS was used for the statistical analysis. Results: Of the 379 screened women, 17.1% were found to be VIA positive. The sensitivity was found to be 91.3% (79.6%–96.5%) and the specificity 68.5% (57.1%–77.9%). Significantly more women with positive punch biopsies complained of contact bleeding than those with negative punch biopsies. CIN2 and CIN3 were mostly found (77.8%) in the right quadrant, while 74% of CIN1 was found in the lower right and left quadrant. Conclusion: VIA is weak as a test to stand alone but may need a combination with other indicators such as the location of the lesion on the right side of the cervix or contact bleeding. A combined indicator may detect precancerous cervix.
